00:05 When FMT Lifestyle last met with Kavivanan Subramaniam in 2020,

00:10 the young lad was running a humble business in Kuala Lumpur,

00:13 selling masala tea from his bicycle.

00:16 A common sight in the Brickfields area,

00:18 his story was one that moved many Malaysians.

00:22 Fast forward to 2024 and the now 27-year-old,

00:25 sometimes called T Thambi, has enjoyed success in the past few years.

00:31 Today, instead of selling tea from his bicycle,

00:34 he has six stalls throughout KL, with the seventh on the way.

00:38 And he even has a cafe to call his own.

00:42 Located on Jalan Tun Perak, T Thambi Cafe is Kavi's first brick and mortar establishment.

00:48 A small but quaint tea shop,

00:50 this is the perfect place to grab a sweet brew when you are on the go.

00:55 In addition to Kavi's classic masala tea,

00:58 several newcomers are on the menu, including ginger tea and brew coffee.

01:03 And what better way to enjoy a cup of masala tea than with a piping hot vadeh?

01:08 Or perhaps something a little sweet like kuih ketayap?

01:12 Also worth your attention are these curry puffs,

01:15 best enjoyed right out the fryer.

01:18 Kavi is now a busy man who spends most days travelling between stalls,

01:22 ensuring everything runs smoothly.

01:25 And when it comes to the quality of his tea, he spares no expense in maintaining it.

01:32 And that was the latest on T Thambi.
